Facilitated Activities

Katapult

Katapult

Katapult is the ultimate capture the flag, all-out medieval type battle game with shields, wet sponge balls and huge catapults firing tennis balls up to 100m through the air!. The battle field is alive with sirens, forts and battle calls and is a great way to break the ice and invigorate your group.

Katapult is a fantastic facilitated game for children, teenagers & adults.

The game can be played using either specific age groups or a mix of all age groups together. The youngest recommended age is 10 years. Its a great activity for team leadership, strategy and group dynamic exploration for school groups and can be either played as a 1 or 4 hour activity.

Amazing Race

Amazing Race

Hosanna’s Amazing Race The race is a far reaching activity run over several hours incorporating many aspects of life into a non stop, action packed, brain racking experience designed to challenge and draw a diversity of talents from the participants, build self esteem and set the first blocks in place to new relationships.

It is a great single day activity for smaller groups, or multiday activity for larger ones. The race is tailored to each group through our Multiple Choice Questions. It is ideal for: Schools and youth groups and not to forget corporate team building sessions.

“Tribes” are challenged to create a Dreamtime Production on the spot using whatever they have in the most creative way. It reconnects students with the magic of story-telling, provides a sense of community and develops an appreciation of indigenous culture.

DIY Campfire

At Hosanna you can have a campfire! Even when you’re in a cabin or hut there is usually a place for enjoying the crackling sound of a campfire. We sell firewood and marshmallows… away you go!

Glow Worm Tunnel

Glow Worm Tunnel

The Glow worm tunnel is an amazing and unforgettable adventure along the abandoned railway line that starts 2 km further down Tunnel Rd from the property to the end of the valley. The tunnel is 500m long and the walk along the track is 2.5 km each way. The glow worms can only be seen at night, so the walk is recommended as an evening activity.

Bushwalks

Bushwalks

Hosanna is situated 15 km from Mt Warning in its foot hills. Mt Warning can take as little as 1,5 hour up and 1 hr down for the young and fit, or a steady 4 hours for the average. The climb is spectacular, the tracks well maintained and the viewing platforms at the summit offers 360 views to the ocean.

I love that you have kept the 'danger' or 'risk' in your camp - not too sanitized allowing children to meet challenges and grow!

Awesome fun! Even the rain didn't dampen our spirits! We had a great time thanks Jennie, Alex, Jan and all the wonderful workers!

Fantastic weekend away. The 4WD farm tour was definately the highlight ! If you can get a group of over 20 people together they will cook you all a massive full breakfast daily for an extra $12 per adult. Well worth it. We will be back for sure :)

...best camping experiences I have ever been on and the students had the time of their lives! The dam/lake was a great venue for diving, swimming and canoeing and students loved going there. The two games Katapult and the Amazing Race were the best two camp games I have had anything to do with and have great application for team building and leadership styles. However, the best thing about Hosanna was the support, generosity and service given by the staff.
